Description

Wield a lightsaber. Learn traditional martial art sword techniques and theatrical combat. New Orleans Light Academy workshops focus on providing an experience of fun, control, and meditation, all while swinging lightsabers in a unique fitness workout. Participants (7+) are invited to join us on our padded tatami mats at our host dojo (Aikido of New Orleans) located in the Broadmoor Arts & Wellness Center at 3900 General Taylor Street. Chief instructor Arturo Peal (6th dan, shidoin) will warm up the workshop participants with some simple movements and exercises before demonstrations and saber clashing. New Orleans Light Academy provides a selection of sabers of various colors, blade sizes, and hilts. You are welcome to bring your saber, but we do request that it can be silent while lit. You are going to get a workout, so we suggest you wear something comfortable. Jewelry and things that could damage the mats are discouraged.
